USSC POLICIES

EVENING ACTIVITIES

Monday through Thursday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 swimmers have free time supervised by the coaches.

CAMP SECURITY & SAFETY
No campers are permitted off campus, nor are campers permitted visitors without the Camp Director’s approval. We look after each camper as though they are our own. We always walk together to and from all camp venues. Every camp begins with a Sunday evening fire drill.

HOUSING
Campers live in the New Dorm at The Ethel Walker School (air-conditioned). Bring a friend(s) and know your roommate(s) before you arrive at camp. Use the application for your camp reservation and make a copy for a roommate(s)!

Camp is always a lot of fun and hard work. Camp rules are clearly defined in the first camp meeting. No drugs, smoking, or alcohol are permitted in camp. Any infraction of camp rules will result in immediate expulsion from camp with none of the fee being refunded.
